The house in East Road was rinsed by the owner upon receipt of a sanitary
notice from Inspector Lear. It was dealt with in a satisfactory manner, and subsequently
re-occupied.
No. 3, Hearn Street was closed under sanitary notice served by Inspector Jordan.
The drains and sanitary arrangements generally were in a very defective condition,
and the owner decided to close the house to facilitate the work of reconstruction.
Nos. 12 and 14, Kingsland Road, were occupied by Italians and were used for
the manufacture of ice-cream. The premises were very old, dirty and dilapidated,
and a good deal of structural work was required to put them in a satisfactory sanitary
condition. They were closed by the owner upon receipt of a sanitary notice from
Inspector Jordan, and were subsequently demolished. A new building is now in
course of erection upon this site.
No. 253, Kingsland Road, was in a very dirty condition, and the drains were
very defective. It was occupied in the lower part by Italians who manufactured
ice-cream. The premises were closed and thoroughly dealt with under sanitary notice
served by Inspector Pearson, the work being in progress at the end of the year.
The two houses in Maria Street were in a dirty and dilapidated condition, and
were closed by the owner upon receipt of a sanitary notice from Inspector Pearson.
It was not thought advisable to spend the money on them to put the houses in a
sanitary condition, as it was probable that they were to be demolished in connection
with a building scheme.
At Nos. 4 and 6, Nichol Street, and 9, Pearson Street, the drains were in a
very defective condition. In order that the works required might be carried out
in a speedy and efficient manner the owner closed the houses.
The house in Redvers Street was in a very dirty and dilapidated condition, and
was closed by the owner on receipt of a sanitary notice from Inspector Jordan, being
dealt with under his supervision.
The house in Salisbury street was in a very dilapidated and dirty state and
generally insanitary. A statutory notice was served, and the premises were vacated
to permit of the works required being executed in a satisfactory manner.
